Telaga Tujuh Falls (or Seven Wells Falls) is located on the western side of Langkawi, near to the Oriental Village. It is easily accessible by car via a well-paved tar road. There is an open space at the end of the road with a few shops selling souvenirs and drinks. Visitors would need to proceed on foot from this point onwards. There are many monkeys here, and visitors are advised to keep all belongings in a sturdy bag and hold tightly to it.
A climb up is required to reach the waterfall. Visitors should take a small road running in front of the shops. There are well-laid concrete steps beside this small road as well if one chooses to use them. The road up is gradual at first but become pretty steep after a while. A 15-minute climb up will place you at the end of the road: a around-about with a huge tree in the middle. A jungle track to the left will lead you into the rain forest and very probably, to the base of the waterfall. We did not take this trail during our visit, but rather, took a flight of stairs to the right. This flight of stairs is rather long and leads to the top of the waterfall. It took us 25 minutes or so to reach the top of the stairs. Along the way, visitors will pass beneath towering rain forest trees with very thick trunks, amidst the symphony put up by the elusive forest cicadas. The sights and sounds of the rain forest can easily distract the visitor from the tiring climb up, such that the top seem to be reached much earlier than expected.
At the top of the stairs is an open space with some buildings and a toilet. The river that feeds the waterfall runs on the right before disappearing down the cliff. As a safety precaution, a metal fence is erected over the river before it plunges 90m down into the forests below. The view behind the fence is superb and one can have a bird's eye view of the jungle below and the sea in the far distance. It is said that this is the second best place in Langkawi to have a wonderful view from above, the best being the cable car station on Mount Mat Cincang. Moving upstream, there is a large rock pool where visitors can swim and relax in the cool, crystal clear water. Visitors can also opt to go further upstream where the water is shallower and runs slower. There are nice little rock pools here where visitors can lie down and let the running water massage the legs or the whole body. The calming sound of running water and singing cicadas, together with the gently-massaging water, can easily lead the relaxed visitor into a lazy afternoon nap...
This place is definitely a good choice for someone seeking a nice natural spot to relax in, or to cool off during the warm afternoons in Langkawi!
